1. The inevitable media circle you-know-what begins

Now we can expect a flood of "aircraft accident" stores from the media for the next few days. It happens every time an accident happens with airplanes, or trains, or buses. The most minor incidents will be breathlessly reported. Then it'll die down until the next "incident."

2. Talked to someone who was there

He thinks the pilot likely was killed but the plane did not go into the crowd and he is not aware of any injuries to spectators.

3. There was supposed to be an air show here (NW corner of Oregon),

but I think it got canceled.
